Purchase Order N0017314P0667

Microwave Photonic Systems Inc. (M P S), a West Chester, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of Radio Frequency over Fiber components and fiber optic systems, was awarded a $9,548 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Office of Naval Research for cable assembly. The contract, which carried no set-aside designation, was awarded on February 6, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of February 21, 2014. This relatively brief performance window reflects the purchase order's nature as a direct procurement for needed cable components supporting naval operations and communications infrastructure.

M P S has maintained an extensive federal contracting history with the Department of Defense since 2001, supplying advanced fiber optic receivers, transmitters, delay lines, and integrated RF over Fiber systems to multiple military branches. The company has worked as both a prime contractor with the Air Force, Navy, and Army, and as a significant subcontractor to major defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Electric Boat Corporation. The cable assembly procured through this Office of Naval Research purchase order aligns with M P S's core capabilities in providing specialized fiber optic and RF components critical to military communications, radar, and electronic warfare applications across the naval fleet.
